Default Electrical problems

Hi all, hope to get some help. 1st thing first I messed up! with a light tester I wanted to see if there was power coming in where there is a quick connect for adapting additional lighting to the front. Well there are thre wires and the first on I tested it gave me a spark and I saw that my instruments ( trip meter only ) went blank also my directionals. brake light. But it did start so I left it alone until today When I went to start nothing happened no clicks. I have power to the parking lights only also no horn. Now I check my fuses ( 15 amp) and everthing seems fine and the 40 amp also. Now when I disconnect my starter relay and plug it back in its making a clicking sound but my brake relay no sound at all. Any Ideas before I take it in the shop. Thanks Pete.

Pull out your Accessory fuse and take a look at it. Sounds like you toasted it.

The no start issue is a different one. Is your start relay click ing when you try to start it? If not, double check your alarm to make sure it's off. Check your grounds and your battery connections, check your starter solenoid.
